Chapter 1584 1584. Surprise

Noah didn't even consider that option. He had already seen how dangerous the windy regions were at his current level. He couldn't go there only to get rid of his annoying condition.

"I guess this had to happen at some point," Noah sighed and calmed himself down.

His situation wasn't downright awful. He had already found a temporary solution to his issue, and he could polish it while he was inside Supreme Thief's inheritance.

The spell had a few drawbacks, but it could keep him safe. Moreover, it also worked as a cover for his presence. The only issue was that it worked too well.

Noah bowed toward Supreme Thief, and an azure light soon lit up under him to teleport him away from that underground hall. Noah found himself in the fourth layer after the light vanished, and he quickly dug a cave to create a training area.

Polishing the spell took a while. Noah wanted his friends in the seventh rank to be able to see him without affecting the hiding qualities of the cover.

The dark world expanded and condensed multiple times while Noah tinkered with its properties. He eventually reached a decent result and linked the ability with his black hole. Part of his dark matter would always have those properties now.

Noah felt at a loss of what to do after he completed that project. He only had to cultivate and become strong enough to live inside the windy regions in theory, but the path was still long.

Noah cultivated while he pondered about his situation. He wanted to start another mess to improve quickly, but Alexander's return had limited his options.

Alexander could take care of all the enemies of the Legion without Noah's help. Actually, Noah's presence would be superfluous since the expert was here.

The hybrid would probably attack all the known mansions belonging to Noah's enemies and force them to hide. Peace seemed about to fall on the world, and Noah despised that situation.

'Maybe I should cooperate with the secret organization,' Noah wondered without interrupting his training. 'They might give me some interesting options.'

Noah didn't want to face the trials in Supreme Thief's inheritance. He had no interest in the pyramid either. Great Builder's studies were interesting, but Noah had already obtained what he needed.

'Secret organization it is,' Noah sighed before leaving Supreme Thief's inheritance and flying toward the Legion's headquarters.

Jordan and the others were still busy gathering the experts from the Balrow family. They had decided to continue the mission after Noah's sudden departure, and Alexander's efforts made their travel uneventful.

The magical beasts had followed Noah's orders. They had transformed more regions into blue bushes and expanded his domain. Noah had a lot of space at his sole disposal now, so he enlarged his underground training area.

It was hard to expand his influence without revealing his presence to the world. Noah wanted to make his ambition reach his underlings, but he couldn't let Heaven and Earth resume their relentless destruction.

Noah had to create large spheres made of his condensed aura to solve that issue. He built portable dispensers of his influence and placed them in specific spots of his domain.

He had to cover the spheres with his dark matter to hide his aura from the world. That approach allowed him to avoid the world's destructive force while unleashing his ambition anyway.

June and the others eventually returned with most of the Balrow family. Pearl didn't manage to find a few experts even after searching all the mansions of her organization. It was as if they had disappeared from the human domain.

Theodora used her innate ability to scan those new assets. She found many biases toward the hybrids in those cultivators, but they were innocent when it came to the crisis.

The Legion decided to put that force in the outskirts of its domain. Only time would tell whether they could become trustworthy assets. For now, they had to remain unaware of the true power of the hybrids.

"What will you do now?" June asked Noah while the duo rested in his cave.

"Wait until something happens," Noah sighed. "I'm too weak for the deep areas of the Outer Lands but too powerful to bully weak forces. I don't even find Supreme Thief's inheritance interesting anymore at my current level."

Noah didn't have to wait for long. A small group of envoys soon reached the borders of his domain and requested a meeting.

Luke and other cultivators from the secret organization had flown across the entire human domain to meet Noah again. The experts wore solemn expressions when Noah and the other rank 8 experts of the Legion encircled them, but they didn't show any fear.

"You managed to put it under control," Luke exclaimed after inspecting Noah. "We weren't wrong in deciding to side with you."

"Did you come back to taunt me?" Noah asked. "Your evasive maneuvers can't keep you safe forever, especially in these lands."

"We have no intention to fight the Legion," Luke replied. "We actually helped you. Heaven and Earth wanted to label you as their enemy right after the light Tribulation. We managed to delay that event until our first meeting."

"I bet you have no way of proving that," Noah laughed.

"We can," Luke said before taking out a small dark orb from his space-ring.

Noah's eyes widened when he inspected that inscribed item. The orb seemed to radiate an aura similar to his ambition. Heaven and Earth even began to attack it as soon as it touched the air.

"It was far bigger before," Luke explained. "We had to use many valuable resources and inspect those who had interacted with you to build this. It has baited Heaven and Earth's destructive force since the Tribulation."

Lightning bolts fell on the orb and finished destroying it. The world fell silent after that, and Luke revealed his sly smile at Noah's surprised expression.

"What can you give me if I decide to cooperate with your cell?" Noah asked.

"The secret organization is one of the oldest forces in the Immortal Lands," Luke explained. "We have studied most of their known surface and have kept track of any valuable resource that came out of the windy regions. We also have experts capable of prying into Heaven and Earth's mind. I think you can come up with something that you need."

Luke's words managed to capture Noah's attention, but he couldn't trust him. The secret organization was too shady, and nothing could reassure him about its actual loyalty.

"What do the other cells say about this meeting?" Noah asked.

"Some of them agree with our new position," Luke sighed. "Others feel that only by fusing with Heaven and Earth we can unlock the tenth rank. I believe they will create countermeasures to our knowledge at some point. You might want to make use of us soon."

"Start talking then," Noah snorted. "I will decide what to do with you after listening to everything you know about the higher plane and Heaven and Earth. I also want the names of those involved in the ambush."

"As you wish," Luke said while a broad smile appeared on his face. "However, do you want to do this here, in front of so many ears?"

"I have nothing to hide from them," Noah announced.

"What about that strange existence hiding in her clothes?" Luke asked while pointing at Faith.

Noah and the others suddenly turned toward Faith. Their consciousness scanned her figure, but they couldn't find what Luke had mentioned.

"Come out," Luke said while taking out a series of mirrors that gathered around Faith. "It's commendable that you managed to hide yourself from rank 8 existences, but your methods can fool the secret organization."

"Crap," A familiar voice resounded in the area before white flames slowly came out of Faith's robe.

Noah couldn't believe his eyes. The flames condensed to take the shape of an existence that he knew far too well. Second Prince suddenly materialized among the experts and heaved a loud sigh.

"I had grown tired of pretending that I was an inscribed item anyway," Second Prince exclaimed. "Well, I can't wait to see my father now."
